Sinopsis
The story of the Priorat’s radical transformation is both epic and inspiring. In just a few years, it went from being a depressed region to becoming one of the world’s most prestigious wine-producing areas. The protagonists of this story are, of course, the local people — but also… the “Five Magnificent Ones.” That’s the nickname given to a group made up of René Barbier, Daphne Glorian-Solomon, Álvaro Palacios, Josep Lluís Pérez, and Carles Pastrana. In the early 1980s, there were five daring, visionary, and courageous young individuals who would go on to revolutionize the wine industry in Spain.
